mRovEMENT 1N cLoTHEs-Hoole The Sehedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the aune.

and .Dress-Supporter; and to enable others skilled in,l

the art to make and use the same, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation, by referring to the drawings, in which the same letters indicate like parts in each of the figures.F

The nature of this invention will be understood from the specification and drawings, in Which- Figure l is a front View.

Figure 2 is a top-edge view.

a is a standard, support, or cleat, to b is secured.

c c are sockets, into which the ends, cl d., of the garment-supporter f enter and are secured.

fi i i are hooks, which are screwed or' oscillate in the sockets k k k.

This supporter is formed of bent-metal rod or wire, so as to produce the required shape for any given purse. p0The advantage of this invention will be at once apparent, as, for instance, if a gentleman has a choice which the plate garment, he will be enabled to more perfectly secure;

or keep it in proper shape, by placing the armLholes upon the outer ends of the supporter f, and its shape still better preserved by hanging other garments upon the hooks c', which dstend or swell out the body of the garment.

This supporter may be made of various shapes, to suit any required object.

Thus it will be seen that the supporter may be easily taken apart and put together, when desirable, and that several garments may be hung together in a small space, and at the same time protect them from injury.

I have thus endeavored to show the nature, construction, and advantage of this invention, so as to enable others skilled to make and use the same therefrom.

What I Iclaim, therefore, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The plate b, with the supporter f, in combination with the xed or vibrating hooks i, substantially as and for the purposeldescribed. A
